“This special evening is a celebration of what makes The Dalles an amazing place to live, work and raise a family — its citizens,” said Farquharson. “These nominations are taken very seriously and are viewed by many as an esteemed honor to receive.”

The dinner will be prepared by Cowboy Catering and live classic jazz performed by Dianna Lysgaard and Mike Stillman.

Members of the community are invited to attend and tickets are now available at the chamber office, 04 W. Second Street, at a cost of $35 per person or $500 per table.
